Rovertech 2.0

I'm still up for a large meet. But must say this is the only club where trying to get a meet set up always goes wayside. But count me in anyway

I've gone from 15" standard steelies to 17" vitesse sport and the the difference is amazing. I'm sure when I lower the centre of gravity i'll get even more grip. The 600 is a big heavy car so the 17" suits it. On smaller light cars the tyre roll won't be as bad on 15" . If cars w...

I think if you get these rims you should limo tint your windows, even the front screen.

You are obviously on a wind up.

Yep well up for it, If when it is arranged it doesnt fall on a weekend when i'm doing something else..

My car went for its first MOT in my ownership. And it sailed through I can now start moddng now that worry is gone.

either way, 620sli sucksorz, and a 220 or 420 would hammer it... the honda engine will do the miles, but its nothing exciting, nothing like a d16 for example... id say the torquey T series turbo is the best engine in the 620... Thats great. But I don't own the t16. i just wanted to kn ow what my ca...

Unless you have a 620i then the figures should be 113bhp and 10.1secs. I assume this is the low comp engine.

I have the 620 Si , Does that make a difference? I had the Vauxhall astra 16v Gte before this and although a loss in power still a good car

err, no it doesnt

620 is a honda engine

only rover engines used in a 600 were t series TURBO and the l series Deisel

I'm grateful for the history, but what does the honda engine spill out?

Thanks for the info on a car i don't own

But the 600 is what i own and to be quite honest its a nice mota. Not fast but not slow. I'm sure with some mods it'll be a fast f*&$er. I just wanted to know what the book say's about the car,

What is the BHP of the 2ltr N/A 600 and 0-60 times? Thanks for any info

The V8. With a straight though pipes mmmm

I've had a MG Meastro ,superb car but prone to rust. Been a passinger in a heavly modded MG metro, Now that was the best car I have had the pleasure of beening in. Normally asperated and out accellerated cosworths.( in a 1300 ). I have driven the 200 Not the coupe that is obviously the sites favouri...

Thank you , you Have been very helpful. I'll post here when I have sorted it ,or not in the case maybe. and let you know.

If I was to lock the car with me in it, then open a door. Should the alarm sound? If not It should but doesn't I will check the things you have mentioned.

At least now I know its not warning me of a fault. Thanks

No, has nothing to do with the alarm just the immobiliser. If the alarm isn't setting then I'd start by checking switches, especially the bonnet switch, as it's in the lock, so gets gummed up, so system thinks it's open, boot and door switches usually easy to spot as you'd get the open warning ligh...

It's a 'master' key, that allows replacements to be coded to the immobiliser

Does that mean it reprogrammes the alarm. Because when i lock the car with the fob The leds don't work near the door locks. I'm not even sure the alarm is working? How do I test it?

It looks ok. I like the mint Mk1 escort in the disabled bay though

What does the red key do Whats it for?

Sorry if this is a repost

I have a 600si 2.0 1996. Everytime I turn the ignition off I get a green light flash with a picture of a key. What is this?

Sorry if this is a stupid question

I've had 120 reading on the speedo which if you take the 10% off isn't that much. Mind you Mines a standard 2.0 R600 with 17 vitesse wheels. What is the bhp of the 600?
